Inpatients 2 Inpatient data provides information about acute care hospitals and the patients who are admitted to them. This page includes the number of beds in operation, occupancy rates, patient age and residence, as well as admissions through the Emergency Department and the average Resource Intensity Weight.

Inpatients 3 Grouping Methodologies categorize inpatients into similar groups for reporting purposes: Major Clinical Categories (MCCs) are large groups generally related to body systems; Case Mix Groups (CMGs) further categorize inpatients into groups based on similarities of diagnosis, intervention, length of stay and resource requirements such as costs. Figure 7: Most Common MCCs for Inpatient Cases, # of Cases 2K 1K 0K 1,674 Mental Diseases & Disorders 1,609 Circulatory System 1,472 Trauma/Injury/ Poisoning Figure 8: Most Common CMGs for Inpatient Cases, Unilateral Knee Replacement Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Vaginal Birth without Anaesthetic or Non-Major Intervention Viral/Unspecified Pneumonia Stress Reaction/Adjustment Disorder Substance Abuse with Other State 1,364 Pregnancy & Childbirth 1,196 Musculoskeletal System Figures 7 & 8: Show the most common types of inpatient cases at, i.e. the MCCs and CMGs which accounted for the most hospitalizations. Note: Some conditions are split into several CMGs due to differences in treatment and/or costs. Example: Vaginal Deliveries are split into four CMGs.

ALC days are included. The most common conditions do not necessarily account for the most inpatient days and vice versa. For example, at most IH hospitals, there are a large number of vaginal deliveries, but because those patients have very short hospital stays, they don't account for a significant proportion of the hospital days.

Inpatients 4 Inpatient Days are calculated from admission date until discharge date, reported by: Acute/Rehab: Days where the patient receives acute care or rehabilitation services; Alternate Level of Care (ALC) : Days where acute services are no longer required, but the patient remains in hospital waiting for other resources Figure 11: Number of Inpatient Days by Self-Identification, - Number of Acute/ Rehab Days Number of Alternate Level (ALC) Days Total Inpatient Days Non- 7,143 8,448 9,199 1,461 1,397 1,744 17,392 18,639 17,834 8,604 9,845 10,943 68,715 74,478 77,492 86,107 93,117 95,326 Figure 11: Shows the three year trend in the number of Acute/Rehab, ALC, and Total Inpatient Days utilized at.

Surgical Day Care 5 Surgical Day Care (SDC) Case: A patient who undergoes a resource-intensive procedure, performed on an outpatient basis. The patient is not admitted to hospital and usually leaves on the same day as the procedure.

Emergency Department 6 Emergency Department (ED) data provides information on visits made to the Emergency Room. Most of the data is based on unscheduled ED visits.
